  • Agendas Behind the Myths

    by

    “The myths about teenagers reveal more about adult agendas than adolescent reality.”

    “Naivete is a convenient excuse—used to deny autonomy and to forgo accountability.”

    “Teenagers aren’t archetypes; they’re individuals. The caricature serves power, profit, and projection.”

    “When adults miscast youth, they protect their own authority more than they protect society.”

    Teenagers are rarely seen for who they are. Instead, they are filtered through adult narratives—stories that cast them as naïve, reckless, or dangerously impressionable. These portrayals are not usually accidental. Whether intentional or mindless, they often serve an agenda: political, financial, personal, or some combination thereof.

    Politically, the “teenager” becomes a symbol wielded in debates about morality, education, or public safety. By exaggerating youth as gullible or irresponsible, adults justify policies that restrict freedom, enforce surveillance, or consolidate authority. The caricature of the reckless adolescent is a convenient tool for those who want to appear as protectors of society. Likewise, the supposedly naïve teenager is invoked to argue that young people cannot be trusted with autonomy—ensuring adults retain control over their choices and voices. At the same time, that same “naivete” is often used as an excuse to let teenagers off the hook for poor or unwise decisions, allowing adults to forgo consequences in ways that ultimately deny teenagers the chance to learn accountability.

    Financially, the myth of the teenager fuels entire industries. Marketing thrives on portraying youth as trend-chasing, easily influenced, and desperate for belonging. This narrative allows corporations to sell not just products but identities—convincing teenagers that their worth is tied to consumption, while reassuring adults that they can profit from youthful insecurity.

    On a personal level, adults often project their own anxieties or nostalgia onto teenagers. Casting them as blameless innocents allows parents to cling to control; painting them as feckless rebels allows others to dismiss their voices. In both cases, the mischaracterization serves adult comfort more than adolescent truth.

    The result is a distorted image of youth that says more about adult needs than teenage reality. Adolescence is not a mystical realm of irresponsibility—it is a stage of growth, contradiction, and discovery. To reduce it to stereotype is to deny teenagers their complexity and agency.

    If we are serious about honesty, we must recognize that these myths are not neutral. They are instruments of power, profit, and projection. And until we dismantle them, teenagers will remain trapped in a narrative that was never theirs to begin with.

  • Invocation of Promise

    by

    Introduction:  “This is an invocation, a prayer of awe and reverence. 
    It speaks of covenant and eternity, 
    lifting the moment of pregnancy into the realm of the sacred.”

    My Son, My Daughter,  
    you dwell within me,  
    a covenant carried on the wind,  
    a flame kindled in the secret chambers of the sky.  

    You are the hush between thunder and silence,  
    the brilliance that rises when eternity breathes.  
    Divinity has bound us together,  
    and I shall not forsake  
    the realm of the Most High.

    Closing:  “May this covenant endure, 
    as heaven bears witness to the promise of new life.”

    🌟 Welcoming Martha Amos-John: The Compact’s Eighth Member

    We’re pleased to announce that Martha Amos-John, age 18, of Argos, Indiana, has officially joined The Compact as its eighth member. Martha brings with her a spirit of athleticism, ambition, and loyalty—qualities that align perfectly with the values of our community.

    Martha and fellow member Jade Lynx share a strong bond that began on the high school softball field in their hometown of Argos, a small town nestled in northern Indiana. Their friendship has remained steadfast, and now, it enters a new chapter as Martha prepares to relocate to Washington State to fulfill her commitments within The Compact. This includes cohabitating in the location chosen by the majority of members, in keeping with the community’s shared living principles.

    ⚾ Athletic Roots and Academic Aspirations

    While Jade has expanded into boxing, Martha remains dedicated to baseball and softball, with plans to try out for the University of Washington’s baseball team as a Left Fielder. She has also applied for admission to the university’s pre-medical program, with the goal of becoming a gynecologist—a career path that reflects her deep care for women’s health and well-being.

    If accepted, Martha will begin her studies in the January 2026 semester, balancing her academic pursuits with athletic involvement and community engagement.

    🏡 Integration and Community Values

    Martha joins The Compact with full understanding of its guiding principles, including its relationship boundaries and the unique structure of the community. She recognizes that The Compact is predominantly female, with a single titular male leader, and that romantic relationships are exclusive to the community itself.

    Though she currently knows only Jade, Martha is eager to meet the other members and become an active participant in this values-driven, purpose-oriented collective.

  • The Compact

    by

    An eight-member compact (although, upon agreement by the community, can be expanded to no more than twelve or contracted to no less than three) is proposed as a voluntary, values-driven community initiative.

    Earlie White, 19

    This compact is founded on four core principles: confidentiality, loyalty, trust, and fidelity. Each member of the community will participate equally in setting the agenda and determining goals through democratic voting. The group will operate as a tight-knit collective, committed to mutual support and shared purpose.

    Guiding Framework: Generation Jumpstart Club

    Obie Tilden, 18

    The compact draws its inspiration from the Generation Jumpstart Club (GJC), a youth-oriented organization characterized by:

    • Political Engagement: Active involvement in civic discourse and advocacy.
    • Athleticism: Emphasis on physical fitness and sports, particularly among female athletes such as boxers and baseball players.
    • Aesthetic Awareness: Attention to personal presentation and style.
    • Intellectual and Practical Savvy: A blend of academic diligence and streetwise sensibility.

    Zoe Day, 18

    GJC or TGJC primarily consists of adult members aged late teens to mid-twenties, with a predominantly female membership. It promotes a platform rooted in populist economics, pro-life values, patriotism, and a national-oriented political philosophy. This includes nativist, isolationist, and non-interventionist stances.

    The club is affiliated with the Revived Citizens Party—also known as the Party of Commons—and the American Sun-Light News & Literature Blog. Together, these entities support a wholesome, athletic, politically engaged, and Christian-oriented lifestyle.

    Structure and Duration

    Carrie Laramie, 19

    The compact is set to begin on November 1, 2025, and will span six years, with the option for renewal every six years if at least three members agree to stay on. While the community may designate a titular leader or leaders (to be named by the start date but kept confidential by the community unless otherwise decided), all members retain equal voting rights and responsibilities.

    Relationship Boundaries

    Margot Blaine, 19

    Members of the compact agree to maintain exclusive romantic relationships within the community, adhering to a strictly heterosexual framework. This arrangement is intended to foster unity and emotional integrity, though it does not conform to conventional American marital norms—particularly in light of the Supreme Court’s 2015 Obergefell decision, which the group views critically.

    Purpose and Vision

    Darcy Pembleton, 20

    The compact aims to cultivate a supportive micro-community that reflects its members’ shared values and aspirations. Through its political activism and cultural engagement, the group seeks to contribute positively to the broader national landscape while nurturing the happiness and well-being of its members.

    Original Members

    Jade Lynx, 20

    The November 1 compact will consist of Earlie White, 19, Obie Tilden, 18, Zoe Day, 18, Carrie Laramie, 19, Margot Blaine, 19, Darcy Pembleton, 20, Jade Lynx, 20 —and the titular leader.

    📌 Postscript: Membership Update and Photo Notes

    As The Compact officially launched on November 1, 2025, it begins with seven confirmed members, rather than the originally anticipated eight. One pledger, after a period of thoughtful consideration, chose not to proceed with the final step of joining. Out of respect for her privacy and indecision, her name has not been disclosed, and no photo of her has been included in this post.

    To clarify a common question: Jade’s friend, who appears in the 2023 photo below, was not among the original pledgers.

    🧭 Leadership and Structure: Understanding the Role of the Titular Leader

    In The Compact, leadership is not defined by authority, but by service and trust. While the Titular Leader (TL) is technically part of the community, they are not referred to as a “Member” of the Inner Circle—the core decision-making body of the compact.

    The TL holds a symbolic title, not hierarchical power. This distinction reflects The Compact’s commitment to egalitarian principles. All decisions are made democratically by the Inner Circle, and any suggestion or proposal from the TL can be accepted or rejected by vote. In cases where unanimous consent isn’t reached, majority rule prevails.

    🗂️ Functional Role of the TL

    Though the TL lacks formal authority, they are entrusted with key administrative responsibilities, such as:

    • Managing the Treasury
    • Overseeing record-keeping
    • Coordinating logistical functions

    These roles are not fixed. The Inner Circle reserves the right to reassign or redefine the TL’s duties at any time, ensuring flexibility and accountability.

    🧩 The Board and Its Dynamics

    Currently, the TL serves as a member of The Board, which includes both the TL (as director) and the Inner Circle (as insiders). However, the TL’s influence is intentionally limited—a concept humorously referred to as a “neutered director.” Any expansion of The Board to include additional directors would follow the same principle: directors serve at the pleasure of the Inner Circle and hold no autonomous power.

    The Inner Circle remains the driving force behind The Board’s decisions. They may choose to expand or contract the Board as needed, always maintaining control over its composition and direction.

    For Lola of Scotland and Generation Jumpstart Club

    We are launching a new fundraiser to support two powerful causes: the legal defense and family well-being of 12-year-old Lola of Dundee, Scotland, and the continued growth of the Generation Jumpstart Club—a dynamic young women’s organization shaping the future of American politics.

    Lola was harassed by migrant ramblers in Dundee and bravely defended herself and her sister. Instead of the perpetrators being charged, Lola now faces legal consequences. This injustice demands action. Your contribution will help cover her legal fees and provide support to her family as they care for this courageous young girl.

    The Generation Jumpstart Club (GJC) is an organization for vibrant, streetwise late teen to 24-year-old women who are athletically inclined, politically aware, and Christian-oriented. GJC members embrace natural beauty, favor sports like softball, baseball, basketball, and boxing, and are active in Washington state politics—with aspirations to expand nationwide. Operating under the Commoner Local Affairs Committee and the Party of Commons, GJC is a force for principled, energetic female leadership.

    For truth in advertising purposes, we emphasize that 10% of the funds raised will go towards Lola and her immediate family, and the remaining 90% will support the Generation Jumpstart Club and its mission.

    Let’s stand together for justice and empowerment. Give what you can, nothing more. Every donation makes a difference. Thanks.

    Justice For the Scottish Girl

    We are raising funds to support the legal defense and well-being of Lola, a 12-year-old Scottish girl who was arrested in Dundee recently for defending herself and her sister from two migrant ramblers.

    This brave young female acted out of fear and desperation, yet now faces criminal charges while the individuals who threatened her walk free. Her case has sparked outrage across the UK and beyond, highlighting the urgent need to protect children and uphold justice.

    Your donation will help cover legal fees, counseling, and advocacy efforts to ensure Lola’s voice is heard and her rights defended.

    For truth in advertising purposes, we want to clarify that 50% of the funds raised will go toward Lola’s immediate family, and the remaining 50% will support our local Washington-based Party of Commons organization and its affiliate, The Generation Jumpstart Club (TGJC).

    The Party of Commons is socially conservative, economically populist, isolationist, pro-life, and advocates for withdrawing from NATO and removing the United Nations from the United States.  Proceeds will help fund our conservative-oriented initiatives, if any new ones come to pass, and our conservative candidates’ political campaigns.

    The Generation Jumpstart Club is for the politically active, athletically inclined, and aesthetically aware young women (late teens to 24). TGJC members embrace natural looks, are studious, savvy, tough and streetwise, and are especially aligned with softball and baseball players, female boxers, and athletes in general.

    Let’s stand together against injustice. Every contribution counts.

  • Fall of Rome-Style Decision Making

    by

    …And They Don’t Really Care Because Their Slogan is ‘Open Borders or Bust’.

    Although there have been plenty of opportunities to correct course (hardly any that have been afforded however), the United States first went headlong into becoming this big immigration country, that we have descended into Hell as a result of since then, in 1965, with the passage of ‘The Immigration Act’ (shorthand), spearheaded by the globalists of the time, though they were called internationalists back then. Nineteen Sixty-five, believe it or not, of all years, you can’t even blame this one on the Black Circus…uh, Caucus…because they didn’t even formally exist then, and were pretty much a literal handful in the 89th Congress. Although, the sleazy Texan-become-president-by-assassination, Lyndon Johnson, and the Congressional bigwigs of the era received some, probably a lot of prodding from the civil rights instigators of the time to switch from the natural origins quota system, in which our immigration basically came from Western nations (even though few-and-in-between from 1924 to 1965), to one of letting the second and third world pour into the United States…basically in unabashed, uninhibited, historic multitude-like numbers.

    Why? There are a number of reasons, we’re not even going to attempt to go through all of them. One that is rarely brought up though, which is why we’re bringing it up, is the anti-black attitude in the United States in the last third of the 20th Century and beyond. The fact is that much of the gargantuan immigration push of the late 20th and early 21st centuries was a a backlash to the 12% -or-so of black people in the United States. The powers-that-be decided that if they let in enough immigrants from around the entire world, they could dilute the strength of the civil rights tide…an ironic balancing act, if you will. After all, it was basically the same people who pushed through both the civil rights laws and 2nd-and-3rd World Mass Immigration into the United States, the remnants of which have magnified a little and is now known as the UniParty (Democrats and Republicans), though not known by the UniParty tag in the early post-’65 days. 

    Just by the sheer will of the gigantic numbers of foreigners they let in, they could put black people back in their place, they thought; since the relatively small black power movement of the early post-1965 era was beginning to agitate Congressmen and their bosses alike across the country. It was like, “Okay, we gave you your civil rights, now get back to your little corner of the world and dig those ditches or whatever you do.” What they didn’t count on, however, even with their stooges and puppets in the small but growing Congressional Black Caucus, the great majority of whom, for some reason, thought that it was some great nirvana or something to have hordes of immigrants come in from just about anywhere in Africa…not even necessarily from their long ago, all but forgotten ancestral slave-trade and slave homelands, but ‘Anywhere Africa’… but their puppeteers didn’t count on the immigrant wave, mostly from the former Conquistador lands south of the Rio Grande River, becoming a tsunami of biblical proportions, and now even their own Anglo/West European race of people have become in danger of being outnumbered in their own country (we’re going to have to elect a series of ‘Trumps’ to stop a radical demographic readjustment, and even Trump himself, a moderate despite all the scaremongering, doesn’t care about legal immigration that much).

    So, while the powers-that-be thought that they were just going to leverage minority power with their immigration policies, especially what they perceived as the “ugly” descended-from-slaves black masses, among other more technical and economic reasons, they ended up building an Immigration Frankenstein that they can hardly control now, and, “Surprise, surprise, surprise”, is now primarily being run and extended by the post-1965 immigrant generations themselves, and their newer, just-got-off-the-boat brethren (who amazingly seem to like politics and running for office more than real, natural-born Americans). So, the immigration tsunami has become normalized now and all but entrenched. So much so that even the descendants of real, colonial settler Americans believe the ‘Nation of Immigrants’ propaganda that is almost everywhere in the media and the General American Mind, but honestly, in another generation or two, if nothing changes, it won’t be propaganda anymore but true.  

    There’s an Aesop’s Fable in here someplace, we just can’t think of what it is right now.

    A Note on Transparency

    At American Sun-Light News and Literature, I’ve always aimed to shed light—on ideas, stories, and truths. But recently, I’ve realized that I haven’t always been transparent about one important thing: edits.

    Over the years, I’ve made quiet updates to posts—refining language, correcting errors, adding clarity—without noting those changes publicly. It wasn’t out of disregard, but rather a mix of habit and the sheer pace of writing and publishing.

    I now see that transparency isn’t just for institutions or journalists—it’s for anyone who values trust with their readers. So going forward, I’ll be more intentional about noting meaningful edits and updates. I won’t be retroactively annotating every past post (that would be a full-time job!), but I’ll treat future work with greater care.

    Thank you for reading, engaging, and growing with me. This blog is a living thing, and I’m grateful to share its evolution with you.

    Your trusted news and political opinion source,

  • A Singer’s Reflections of TGJC

    by

    By Zoey Day | Guest Contributor

    There’s something haunting about The Generation Jumpstart Club. Not haunting in the way ghosts linger, but in the way old dreams echo through new voices. I first heard about TGJC while touring through the Pacific Northwest, and the name stuck with me like a lyric I hadn’t written yet.

    A youth club for late teens to early twenty-somethings, mostly women, mostly athletic, mostly politically conservative. It’s not the kind of thing you expect to find in the indie music scene, or in the art cafés I grew up around in New Mexico. But TGJC isn’t trying to be expected. It’s trying to be remembered.

    They box. They play baseball. They talk about patriotism and populism with the kind of conviction that feels almost vintage. There’s a strange beauty in that—a kind of resistance to the noise, to the irony, to the curated chaos of modern youth culture. It’s not my politics, but it is my poetry.

    I watched one of their videos late at night, headphones on, candle flickering. The girls moved like dancers in a slow-motion revolution. Their style was deliberate, their posture proud. It reminded me of the desert—quiet, vast, unapologetically itself.

    TGJC is affiliated with Mark Greene, a Marine Corps veteran and political outsider. He writes like someone who still believes words can change things. His blog, American Sun-Light, reads like a proclamation wrapped in a love letter to a country he refuses to give up on. I don’t agree with everything he says, but I respect the way he says it.

    Critics have called the club cultish and regressive. But I think that misses the point. TGJC isn’t trying to be cool. It’s trying to be clear. And in a world that’s constantly shifting, clarity is a kind of rebellion.

    If I were to write a song about them, it wouldn’t be a protest anthem. It would be a ballad. Something slow and cinematic. Something with strings and silence. Because TGJC, for all its politics, is really about presence. About showing up. About believing in something—even if that something is wildly different from what the rest of the world believes.

    And maybe that’s the most amazing thing of all.
